A while back in pretentious art mode I was very interested by Renaissance Mannerism or bella maniera I guess you could call it figura serpentinata 1520s shocked face elongated neck twisty flailing arms spiralling convulsion vortex pose art hehe.
The most famous piece is of course the Renaissance tentacle hentai Laocoon and his Sons, they really like tentacles lol. A lot of literature references this
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laoco%C3%B6n_and_His_SonsBut I do prefer this sculpture, by Giambologna. It is called the Rape Of The Sabine Woman.
For some reason I think this sculpture could be a good candidate for /qst mascot.
